A great way to visit Point Cabrillo Light Station for the first time is to come for a guided walk. Guided Walks start in the parking area just off Point Cabrillo Drive. Reservations are not required, but for more information, call the Preserve office at 937-0816 or email them at Guided Walks At Point Cabrillo
Join us for a leisurely stroll through the meadows and along the windswept bluffs of the 300 acre Point Cabrillo Preserve. You'll learn a little coast ecology and some Mendocino history, including the story of the "Frolic", the 1850 shipwreck that changed the north coast forever. Visit the newly restored 1909 Lighthouse, and one of the very few intact and publicly accessible light stations remaining on the Pacific Coast. There will be knowledgeable docents to answer your questions, and a gift shop with a unique array of Lighthouse books, tee shirts, and gift items for sale.
Plan for a mile and a half walk, round-trip, over unpaved grasslands and gently sloping terrain. A water bottle, binoculars, and a sweater are advised.
Meet your guide in the Preserve parking area. The Preserve is located halfway between Russian Gulch State Park and Caspar Beach, on Point Cabrillo Drive.
Children are welcome to participate but must be accompanied by an adult. Dogs are not permitted on the Preserve trails.
